A win is a win...but LBJ's missed free throws are worth mention. One could argue they cost us Game 4, and though they didn't hurt too much last night, they were still prevalent.
This season he had gotten to a point where I didn't go into nervous rapture when he hit the line...right now I'm terrified.
I was more worried about those 3 straight turnovers he handed them,...THAT was ugly.

I wish I could be as optimistic as you but the most important thing you learn by being a cleveland sports fan is to not get your hopes up

Keep the faith Candy.
Winning two in a row isn't such a huge task, especially when your team has the best player.
As long as we're close in the 4th, I have no doubt LeBron can throw us all on his back and get us to game 7.

i really think it's the turnovers, man...
if we can just limit them, i think we'll be right there...
it's just that we'll 3-4 straight possesions without getting a good look, either with turnovers or just ugly shots, and that leads to transition bball...

I promise not to watch the game. That outta be enough to pull out a win.

I can't believe that you don't have total faith that they'll win tonight. I am absolutely positive that they'll win.
As a Cleveland fan I know to expect fantastic calamity at the worst possible time. A Game 6 is not it.
Game 7..... For sure we'll have a catastrophic play that will live on forever in infamy.
But Game 6????
Why should anyone be worried about Game 6?

well this game is over...its obvious one team wants it and the other team wants it to end...one thing i notice, orlando actually runs an offense..theres structure to it, cleveland's in 100 percent whatever lebron wants to do regardless if it works or not, pretty easy to defend if i'm ron jeremy...err.van gundy. danny ferry has his work cut out for him this offseason, lebron needs someone, anyone to step up when it counts..i really think we are too small across the board, we need to get bigger and we need a deeper bench, hell frenchy is outscoring our entire bench handily by himself, we're getting ticky tack fouls and getting key guys in trouble while orlando isn't missing. lewis and frenchy need to be on the recieving end of some bone jarring screens, they are running too free
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. -John Wayne

thats the requirement of BEING a cleveland sports team..lol, it was a good season, but also a complete failure, even the players will say that. but atleast alot of our holes were identified and i think ferry will do a great job filling them

This is just so damned painful to watch... I see MB FINALLY had LbJ switch to defend Frenchy before the end of the half... I just thought this was the year for us and the way this game is looking up until this point, our guys are playing like they already mailed it in...

Although I'm greatly disappointed it's lackluster performances from Cleveland teams in games like this that have made me the pessimist I am today. So I can't say this was unexpected, I just thought they would play better.

Ain't that the truth?? The OFFICIATING is TERRIBLE on BOTH end all series long... The NBA has GOT to crack down and get some better officials because it is truly ruining the game to the point where I hate watching

They tried getting back in it, too. When they got the lead back to within reach, Cavs should taken the ball to the basket more, but when you're getting hacked on every play and rarely getting a foul call, there's not much you can do. Oh well. Maybe next year...

My ONLY knock on MB was the lack of defensive adjustments and the fact that we didn't attack Howard early enough in the series...
Did the officiating suck? HELL YES but we screwed ourselves in this one and not the offficials... They were the sum and not the whole...
Just sad to go through this AGAIN

look, I dont in any way want to blame the officiating, but I will say we were having enough trouble stopping Howard inside as it is and the refs are allowing him to just mug everyone inside.
I am fine with our backcourt and obviously SF but in the offseason we need to get a good 4 or 5 who can score inside. I love Z,dont get me wrong but we need a D Howard type inside player to compliment him.

aside from LBJ, the Cavs don't look like they have a lot of quickness.

The Cavs need to find their "Pippen"
They have one star...and some solid players.
Lebron needs a STAR on the court with him.....Even an aging SHAQ would probably be enough.

Mo and D West are both quick, if they could just hit some shots. I hope with a year of experience they are better come playoff time next year.
